.//?[@innertext='xxxx'] is always found

If I use question mark, which should mean which ever tag, and some property, like innertext with some rubbish which does not exist in the AUT, both Ranorex and Spy claims the element is found.

If I use what ever tag instead of question mark, the element is not found (which is correct). Why the question mark works here incorrectly?

Hi,

Question mark does not mean “whichever” but “optional”! For “any” tag, use asterisk, like //*[@innertext=‘xxxx’]

Thanks Odklizec! How simple mistake...

Hi,

You are welcome. Don't worry about this. This could happen to anyone

I just debugged one thing for half an hour, only to find how stupid mistake I did
